The Borderlands of Jonathan James is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ronald Prumt with a fair hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.218 billion Jonathan Jamesians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hexagon. The average income tax rate is 5.9%.

The all-consuming Jonathan Jamesian economy, worth 649 trillion US Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 90,036 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, saying 'no homo' is enough to escape punishment for the crime of being gay, and police officers compete for the highest commissions from fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Jonathan James's national animal is the Mongoose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
